thank you. So are sunspots multiple poles, much like what's predicted as a prelude to a magnetic pole reversal on earth. Or are they just solar weather as in edi's and currents similar to cloud formations high and low pressures and densities.

i would say both are correct to some degree.. janitor?

Not really, sunspots aren't magnetic poles, if you look at the poles of the sun, north and south and it's magnetic north and south poles you'll see that they aren't covered in sunspots because the magnetics are coming up from the center of the sun and the rotation of the sun doesn't twist these much up there.

Sunspots are the result of the uneven solar rotation (faster around the equator) twisting and distorting magnetic field lines, this creates magnetic eddys, think of the plasma and magnetics associated with it as a fluid. It's why you generally see sunspots around the same latitude. The further from the (about 30 degree latitude) they are the generally more short lived they are.

Anyway, sunspots aren't magnetic poles and it's much more like the latter part of hawks post.

Sunspots Can Now Be Predicted Days in Advance
New technique may improve solar-storm forecasts, experts say.

"We can measure the time taken by acoustic waves to propagate from one location to another, and it turns out the total travel time for this particular distance [inside the sun] is about an hour," Ilonidis said.

"If, however, the waves cross a sunspot region along their path, they propagate a little faster inside the sunspot region, so the total travel time becomes a little shorter, by about 12 to 16 seconds."

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05/2100Z
to 06/2100Z: Solar activity was high. There were five M-class x-ray events during the past 24 hours, all from Region 1429 (N17E31). The largest event was an M2/1n 06/1241Z. None of these events was
associated with a CME that would be expected to be geoeffective.Region 1429 dominates the disk in area (about 1010 millionths), and exhibited growth during the period. The trailer portion showed the most development but has separated a bit from the main cluster of
spots. The central portion is magnetically complex and shows
multiple deltas as well as strong shear along a pair of east-west
polarity inversion lines. Region 1428 (S17E08) also showed some
growth during the period (area of 280 millionths) but is simple
magnetically and was relatively quiet.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be
moderate. Additional M-class events from Region 1429 are likely.
There is also a chance for a major flare and/or proton producing
event from Region 1429 during the next three days (07-09 March).

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled to active with a chance for minor storm
periods during the next 24 hours (07 March). The increase in
activity is expected due to combined effects from a co-rotating
interaction region with the CME that occurred on 04 March
(associated with the M2 x-ray event). Later in the day additional
effects are expected due to a glancing blow from the full halo CME
associated with the X1 x-ray event that occurred on 05 March.Predominantly unsettled levels with a chance for active periods are
expected for the second day (08 March) as effects from the
anticipated disturbance should diminish. Predominantly quiet levels
are expected for the third day (09 March).
